As the biggest contributor to the UK economy in the Northern Powerhouse, with a proud cultural and sporting heritage, our West Yorkshire region is a modern and inspiring place in which to live, work and invest.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority brings together the local authorities of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield with the Local Enterprise Partnership. The Authority develops and delivers policies, programmes and services which directly benefit the 2.3 million people who call West Yorkshire home.
The Authority is chaired by the England’s first female elected Mayor, Tracy Brabin. The Mayor is a strong champion for the region, making sure that the voice of the people of West Yorkshire is heard in Westminster.
The Authority is now taking the next step to deliver for the region, benefiting from the largest devolution deal in England. Over £2bn of new funding is giving our region greater freedom to decide how best to meet local needs and create new opportunity, through investment in transport, skills, culture, housing, and the environment.
The West Yorkshire Mass Transit is central to this ambition. We want to deliver a new, high-quality Mass Transit system for West Yorkshire which will connect people across our region by 2040.
Following the creation of a new Mass Transit Directorate to develop the Mass Transit programme, we are seeking new team members to support the programme.
